Mythology, Spirituality, and the Afterlife...
This novel is an excellent depiction of what many people already believe comes after we die - a state of being "between" this world and the next, a place that we go after we cast off our mortal coils but before we move on into the spiritual world. Stacy, the main character, is a gifted, if slightly selfish, psychic healer who gets stuck "between" after a terrible car crash. She's not dead, ...

A beautiful, emotional love story
I highly recommend this book! It is a wonderful, beautifully rendered love story. It made me cry and laugh and went straight to my keeper shelf. The hero is one of my all-time favorites.

Wish there was more........
What a great read. I was inspired especially when finding out that he not only volunteers his time to do search and rescue but that his K9 partner is a Doberman instead of the typical shepards. The stories were wonderful; I got a feel for what true search & rescue is like....not just all happy or gruesome endings. Hope he continues to write additional books.

It's to bad Shelby is gone
It is to bad that Shelby Foote has passed from the scene. His books are riviting and historically accurate. A must read for any student of the civil war and for anyone who wants to know more about the greatest American Battle, Gettysburg.

Jorge Amado

Perhaps Jorge Amados Masterpiece, in a 1-10 scale, and 11.
To me, this is the most important and the best book by Jorge. The book is about the life of Pedro Archanjo, a mulatto man who spent his whole life fighting prejudice. The book teaches you about the Roguish lifestyle Archanjo lived, his growth and maturity and his death. It is very interesting how the interest for why Archanjo wrote grows exponentially as you keep reading. Also, the book deals ...

The COMPLETE breakdown of the Army in WW2
I found my copy of this large (9 1/2" x 12") and somewhat heavy (4 lbs or so), well-made, well-organized book in a military collector store in Pineville, NC for $20. I see now that it is out of print and is bringing $120 used. My copy is in excellent condition, save for a small tear on the dustcover jacket. Anyway, to the review.......... This book is the main staple in my enormous WW2 ...
The Civil War: A Narrative (3 Volume Set)

Shelby Foote
Random House
, 2006
Excellent series
Here is writing which makes history come alive. I have read other civil war books, but I would say this is bar far the best, most comprehsive books I have read. I beleive it is equal in representation of both the north and the south but there is a slight bias towards the south in some respects. The author puts more a human face to Davis whereas Linclon is not always afforded this. But ...

Anton Chekhov
Modern Library
, 1999
Finally
Coming up with a completely satisfactory compilation of Chekhov is impossible. There's too much material and, after a certain point, almost everything is worth reading. At this point, I have three small compilations that I've found in used bookstores, with around a third of the stories in each volume repeated in another volume. It's annoying. I found it hard to believe that (until now) a ...

The American "Iliad"
Foote is a novelist first, and the skill of his narration bears this out. Although the reader knows (or should know) what is about to take place (after all, this is the most written about war in literature), the author presents the events as a first rate novelist presents his plot twists and turns - with such subtlety that the reader is somewhat surprised when he comes face to face with such ...

Primary Source tale of a honeymoon on the Santa Fe Trail
Magoffin was a name familiar to the Mexicans who had trading relations with Susan's husband for years before he married her and took her with him from the states on an expedition to Chihuahua, Mexico. She kept a diary from which she drew her information for the only book I know written by a woman, young and pregnant, whose fate it was to die in her 26th year, at home. Accounts from her ...

Great reference
I found this book to be extremely useful when it comes to needing to know what soldiers wore during the war. The explanations and many photos in each section make it easy to understand who wore what in Vietnam.

Timeless Tales 5 Star Review
by Terie Lou The days are getting colder and the nights are getting longer. What a perfect time to turn off the TV, grab your favorite hot "toddy" and settle in for a great read. Might I recommend you pick up Redemption by Shelby Morgen? Although this e-book has been out for a few years, previously published as Charlie's Way, I'm afraid this jewel has been greatly overlooked. It has now found a ...

An outstanding compendium of the SF in Southeast Asia
The book is a great photographic representation of the Green Berets in Southeast Asia. From helicopter rides and walks in the jungle to training and living with the natives, its pictures and narratives take the reader through the many missions of the men of Special Forces in Vietnam and the surrounding countries. One can see (and almost feel) the sweat, pain and the joys of those "selected few." ...

The Six Step Method Really Works!
I will freely admit that I was skeptical when I first picked up this book. I had read many so-called "self-help" books before and none had really provided any useful information, so when a friend urged me to read HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE, I was sure it would be more of the same. I could not have been more wrong! After setting aside my skepticism and determining to keep an open mind, I set ...
War and Politics by Other Means: A Journalist's Memoir

James Bush, Seattle Weekly
Shelby Scates has a rare talent as a storyteller. Reading his memoir, you can imagine sitting at the kitchen table ( a bottle of booze within easy reach ) as he relates these tales gathered during his eventful life. Scates stories benefit greatly from the writer's exactness. Most remarkable is the noticable forward movement to his prose, a sense that there is more good stuff coming, a sentence, ...

An amazing story about faith in God and the power of a Wish
Stuart and Shelby Stout have incredible faith in God and this story is proof thereof. It has times of laughter, times of tears, and shows how truly faithful some can be in God to bring you through trying times. The wish that Hope requested from Make-A-Wish was so incredible that the media in Charlotte, NC picked it up and ran with it! One little red-head with cancer raising $1 million for those ...
